"I think we just know we have to approach this game the same way we've been approaching each game," Lundqvist said. "We can't put more pressure on ourselves. We always want to win, we always want to play a desperate game, but you don't want to go out there and try to do too much or get too excited. We need to find a good balance and just go out there and try to play as good as we can."

Lundqvist was nominated for the Vezina and Hart Trophies this year for his outstanding play in net for the Rangers throughout the regular season, and may finally earn some respect by winning one or both of the awards.

For all of his outstanding regular season success however, Lundqvist hasn't been able to dominate in the playoffs. He has a career playoff record of 25-29.

Lundqvist can silence his critics by leading the Rangers to a series comeback against the Devils to make the Cup Final.

New York's offense hasn't been firing on all cylinders in the Devils series, and many of the team's most dangerous forwards like Marian Gaborik and Derek Stepan have struggled to score.
